Synopsis

The so-called "extension question" concerns the inclusion of developing countries into the TRIPS agreement (for trade-elected intellectual property rights), which provides protection of geographical indications of product origin. This book provides some empirical evidence and applied legal and economic reasoning to this debate and includes both reviews and case studies.
